Prayer for Final Exams

Lord, calm my fear at exam time.

  Let the work I have done stand to me on the day.
Do not allow what remains undone
to undermine my courage.
And help me to make the best of my knowledge.
You have a loving plan for my whole life
and whatever the outcome.
exams are a part of this plan.
help me to see beyond this time and relish the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing break.
AMEN
